Annakiya grimaced as she scooped up a clump of seaweed. For a moment, she wondered if it was really worth the look on Savitari's face to hold the disgusting glob. Savitari gave one of those fake yet irresisteble laughs that meant she was flirting and Annakiya's mind was made up. Seaweed clutched in her hands, Annakiya ran up the rocky beach, scaled the dune which her sister was behind and hurled the seaweed down as hard as she could. It landed with a satisfying squelch on Savitari's head.

"ANNAKIYA!" Savitari bellowed, springing up and trying to shake the seaweed out of her hair. "What in Faranth's name did you do that for?" she demanded. Krito chirruped and ate a piece of seaweed of his human's head.

"Payback for stealing my man," Annakiya explained with a wink at the boy Savitari had been flirting with. "Really Sav, you shouldn't have sat behind a dune where I could get such great aim."

"Your man?" Savitari scoffed. "Excuse me, he was mine. You left him, which makes him up for grabs." She paused to pick another strand of seaweed from her hair and chuck it at her twin. "Besides, you weren't going to take it any further anyway. You had your flirt, leave some for the rest of us."

"How would you know?" Annakiya shot back, aware that her face was bright red by now. "Refin and I were planning to... to..." she glared at her sister. "Oh shut up!"

Refin, through this entire conversation, however, was speechless. Now, as Annakiya glared and Savitari chuckled, he found his voice. "There's... two of you?" he managed finally.

Annakiya looked at Refin and then back to her sister. "Oh, no. You didn't."

Savitari smiled sweetly and shrugged. "He just seemed so lonely sitting there, all alone, and I figured you'd lost interest... so I thought I'd keep him company."

"Wait a minute... which one of you's Annakiya?" Refin asked, eyes flicking from twin to twin and back again. "And who is the other one?"

Annakiya sighed. "I'm Annakiya, and this is my twin sister, Savitari who you've been flirting with for the past few minutes while I was away."

"Uh... well, it was nice flirting with you... both of you... but I uh, I gotta run," Refin was up and away before either twin could do anything about it.

"You just had to ruin it didn't you?" Annakiya sighed, watching an unbelievably cute hind end dissapear around a corner. "Why do you always steal my guys? You could find your own."

"Are you kidding me?" Savitari scoffed. "It is much more fun to steal them from you. Adds an element of suspense. Will I get seaweed in my hair, or dung?"

"I didn't want to smell the dung for the next sevenday," Annakiya replied. "But don't think I won't use it next time."

"I see Refin got away alive," Annakiya groaned as she heard Tlacelel's voice. The last thing she needed right now was Tlacelel to rub it in. "Didn't think he'd last with both of you after him."

"It's Sav's fault this time," Annakiya replied. "She had to go and steal him when I was away. Didn't even tell him she was my twin."
